At 62k miles, the water pump went out in my 01. At that time, it was discovered that the drive belt was starting to go as well, and was replaced (the PO had not done a complete 60k service!).

Spark plugs are another thing that you may want to do soon - parts are about 50-60 (sunset etc.), and from what I understand it is a DIY (though I haven't attempted it).

Fuel filter replacement is also part of 60k, but I don't know about the effects of not doing it in time - maybe someone else can chime in. This hasn't been done on my 66k car (have ordered the part, so will get to it soon enough), and so I too am interested in knowing the ill effects of slacking with this item.
